Note: #skillsposting is not an insular community. I made this list for my own comfort only, so I can jump to other folks’ accounts quickly. Anyone can take part in the role-play or create a fandom acc. The spots can’t be “taken”, just have fun :p

AITA for telling my Partner how wrong he is

Greetings, Read-Its.

I (1-45m) am in a relationship with my Second In Command (1-45...m?), romantically (not in the sense that we share an appreciation for that which is impressive in terms of feats of honor and the like, I am very aware that it is meant in the other sense of the word. For example, we kiss, usually directly onto the mouth.).

Recently, he made a mistake, which is unusual for him, so of course I corrected him immediately, to preserve his spotless reputation. It was minor, as he does not make major mistakes, but notable nonetheless.

This then prompted him to debase himself with apologies and doubts about his intelligence, a reaction which presents a complete non-sequitur to the amicable conversation we were having. He stopped doing this when I told him to, but the interaction left me dissatisfied.

While I know that this concludes this issue and that there was no other way for me to act, I am interested in 1. what caused this reaction and 2. how to prevent it in the future. I was told that this webbed site is best suited for this type of inquiry.

AITA is what you put at the end of these. Why do you bracket your posts like this?

[in-omni-scientia]

INFO.

What, exactly, was the mistake and *how* did you bring it up to him? Potentially there may have been some miscommunication; you may have intended to help him, but have unintentionally come off as jeering or disparaging, causing him to immediately enter damage-control mode by deflecting through self-flagellation.

The only advice I can give you from this is that you should try to be courteous to your Second In Command (romantically) and ensure he has the space to feel as though he is *allowed* to not only make mistakes (as it is only natural that nobody can be completely flawless), but communicate with you when he feels that you have committed an indignity against him and/or explain why he is reacting the way he is reacting. If he is a good partner, he will do the same for you, too. This is the basis of a healthy Second in Command (romantically) relationship, my friend, and if this basic foundation cannot be laid between the two of you, then...

...wait, what website am I on right now?

[the-only-authority]

Did you just yell "Info" at me. What the hell, Papercuts.

...wait how the fuck did you get here

[in-omni-scientia]

No-no, it's for the voting system on Reddit Dot Com Slash Am I The Asshole so that their voting bot can scan through and see what the highest rated comment is to give the post a corresponding post flair -- it's not *yelling*, it's just capitalised to fit with all the other acronyms you can vote with.

I'm. Here because. We are *not* on Reddit Dot Com Slash Am I The Asshole.

...Maybe read my advice?

[the-only-authority]

"Am I the Asshole"?

"AM I THE ASSHOLE"

@rigorous-discourse WHy the FUCK did you tell me to USE THAT?! It has NOTHING to do with the situation at hand what in the goddaMNHGB

Let that be a lesson.

[rigorous-discourse]

Oh, you didn’t get that? Anybody else would’ve understood it easily.

Hello everyone, I haven't been active in the last few days because of personal problems, I don't think I'll have enough energy to continue running the Rhetoric blog.

I had a lot of fun with this blog and if anyone wants to take over the blog from me please let me know.

..awak semua okay tak? Ada dapat jumpa apa-apa? Rasanya kalau tiada masalah hari ini, kita boleh teruskan operasi menghantar saya ke EDC harapnya. Katanya gerak ke arah Timur ke Utara,bukan?

Saya mungkin bawakan sedikit barangan, kamera bawah air, pengesan jejak Dan mungkin radio telekomunikasi mini? Ada apa-apa yang rasanya diperlukan?

[rhetorical-rhetoric]

Ik heb deze boot gevonden!!!

Het is een teken van de Phasmid, Harry gebruikte deze boot om de Phasmid te vinden, nu moet ik de boot gebruiken om de Walvis te vinden. je zult nu vast zeggen dat het te gevaarlijk is, maar ik moet dit doen er is geen andere manier.

[turtle-ask]

Tuan Retorik, saya tahu awak nak ikut sekali dalam ekspedisi memburu Pale Whale ini tapi, selepas accident pada hari ini dengan Pain Threshold Dan kata-kata Encyclopedia, saya tak berani nak risikokan sesiapa dalam Hal ini.

Bagaimana sekiranya kamu semua lemas dalam lautan sunyi ini? Siapa yang harus jaga Harry? Primidioal shit itu pun mengatakan saya Dan skills amatlah lain. Harry perlukan kamu semua. Aku tidak. Jadi biarkan aku seorang pergi. Jangan berdegil, makin berdegil, makin tenat Harry nanti. Saya maksudkan yang ini.

Aku boleh tangkapkan gambar Phasmid Dan Pale Whale itu nanti,jangan risau. Sebanyak-banyak gambar pun! Jadi, duduk di sini.

[rhetorical-rhetoric]

oké ik vertrouw je, maar als je er te lang over doet en ik me zorgen over je begin te maken zal ik in de boot stappen om je te vinden.

[turtle-ask]

Lima hari. Jika lima hari saya tak dapat pulang ke sini, saya benarkan awak semua cari saya, bunyi adil?

[rhetorical-rhetoric]

Vijf dagen is te lang (in die tijd kan er te veel fout gaan), ik zal beginnen met zoeken na drie dagen of wanneer ik het gevoel krijg dat je in gevaar bent.

[turtle-ask]

i dont think a lot of the skills like you

Oh yeah? What the give away?

[turtle-ask]

..Sorry, I got a little stressed lately. Just..just leave me alone for a bit. I need to go back to my research. *No need* to rub salt on the wound.

I heard it first-hand anyway. Just-..Shoo, let me return to my place. Begone anon.

[rhetorical-rhetoric]

Do not listen to this anonymous coward, you are a valued member of the church of the Insulindian Phasmid, and more importantly you are a friend.

[turtle-ask]

You keep repeating those words so many times, does it hold any meaning as now?

You said I'm sort of a devotee of this religion but I have done nothing but ruined everything. That anon has a point. Look at the mess I made. Don't deny it,please.

A turtle, some nerd who reads books, spineless figures, sadistic scientists, devotees of Insulindian Phasmid, it feels familiar yet nothing fit of what I am. A bunch of tittle I gave people,names I mutters, none of it truly *me*.

What am I even? I don't even know anymore. It doesn't matter, life goes on. As always.

[rhetorical-rhetoric]

You will redeem yourself, you are already working towards it.

you care for Harry, more than that can't be asked of you

[turtle-ask]

...do you think redemption is possible for sinners? What if it doesn't? Would it be in our next lives?

Would I able to see you again,mister Rhetoric?

[rhetorical-rhetoric]

The Phasmid has heard your plea for redemption and will grand you a opportunity to receive it, do not ask further questions otherwise it might be mistaken as a lack of trust

@in-omni-scientia Here, I filled out your little survey.

Please indicate where you and your current partner engaged in the act of Kiss (e.g. face): Mouth.

Would you consider your partner short-term or long-term? (Short-term)/(Long-term) (I'd like it to be)

What is your gender identity? (Female)/(Male)/(Nonbinary)/(Other)/(Prefer not to say) If selected 'Other', please indicate: Me.

What is your preference in partner? MALE: (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5) FEMALE: (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5) NONBINARY: (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5) It varies.

How much did you enjoy Kiss? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5)

How important would you value Kiss as being at the initial stages of a relationship? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5) Unsure how to answer?

How much do you believe your partner enjoyed Kiss? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5)

To what degree would you agree that Kiss induces bonding? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5)

How important do you place Kiss as being during the established phases of a relationship? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5)

To what extent would you agree that transfer of sebum from the suction of the skin surface around the mouth and the surfaces of the buccal, oral, and gingival mucosae inside the mouth mediates pheromonal and hormonal information as well as provides olfactory cues during Kiss? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5) What?

To what extent do you agree that Kiss is the most romantic act romantic partners can engage in? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5)

To what extent do you agree that there is less conflict in relationships in which partners engage in Kiss more? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5)

To what extent do you agree that Kiss is a good way for you and your partner to show romantic love for one another? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5)

Do you feel more loved when your partner engages in Kiss with you? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5) I always do regardless.

Organise these actions on a continuum from least intimate to most intimate: (Hugging) / (Backrubs/massages) / (Holding hands) / (Cuddling/holding) / (Kiss on the face) / (Kiss on the lips) / (Caressing/stroking)

Organise the actions in Q.15 on a continuum from least expressive of love to most expressive of love.

Organise the actions in Q.15 on a continuum from least preferred to give to most preferred to give.

Organise the actions in Q.15 on a continuum from least preferred to receive to most preferred to receive.

Who generally initiates Kiss? (Me)/(My partner)/(We are freaks who somehow telepathically communicate and both initiate at the same time) Lacking data.

To what degree do you feel you have grown emotionally closer to your partner after Kiss? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5)

With your partner, did you experience a change in attraction after the initial kiss? (Yes)/(No) I don't think I can love him more than I do.

[in-omni-scientia]

I *would* give you your compensation but I am currently busy being arrested which has put a significant pause on my ability to conduct this study. Please check back in later.

[the-only-authority]

Let me see that, Yarns.

... Yes that checks out. But the uh

The uuuuh

[professionalcharmer]

Something catch your eye there?

[the-only-authority]

15.

That is very high on your list.

[professionalcharmer]

The kissing? Yeah, it's up there.

Our answers for 15 were... pretty different for the most part.

[the-only-authority]

Shush, @in-omni-scientia, I'm not talking to you. Flap those pages elsewhere.

Charmer. There is a clear gradient in perception of The Event between us. If not addressed, it could grow into a power imbalance, where the actions of one might have an exaggerated weight to the other.

Does this discrepancy exist for all forms of Kiss in terms of recipient and location?

There's also the matter of. Khm. The last answer.

[professionalcharmer]

Yes, I can see the issue there—but I also can't pinpoint an exact solution, unless you had something in mind.

The discrepancy... I don't know. We could probably figure that out with some testing.

[the-only-authority]

I do not wish to make you my thrall by the inherent power of my kisses.

What testing did you have in mind? An attempt at other items in that list?

[professionalcharmer]

Regardless, I really *like* kissing you, so I hope this doesn't make you less inclined... But, the testing thing, yea. We could also try things *off* the list, see how we feel about certain actions.

You mentioned an issue with my last answer?

[the-only-authority]

Erhm. You're welcome.

No.

...no, not an issue.

I... mh. There is no way for me to respond when you say these things.

[rhetorical-rhetoric]

There are plenty of ways to respond, you would know this if you weren't so busy becoming part of the Cock Carousel

[professionalcharmer]

I'm sorry, Rhetoric, but is this *not* you in this image?

[rhetorical-rhetoric]

I'm not being mean if he wants to become part of the cock carousel then he can do that, I'm just saying he's wrong because he said that there is no way for him to respond even though there are plenty of ways to respond

Also pictures can be edited so maybe thats not me at all, what if it was drama, you don't know if thats me and you can't prove shit, your arguments are bad and you should feel bad about it

[professionalcharmer]

Dolores Dei, and you want to get on *my* case about doing my job properly? Pull yourself together, Goldmouth—that argument can *barely* stand by *itself*! You have no business butting into this conversation in the first place.

Who generally initiates Kiss? (Me)/(My partner)/(We are freaks who somehow telepathically communicate and both initiate at the same time) Lacking data.

To what degree do you feel you have grown emotionally closer to your partner after Kiss? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5)

With your partner, did you experience a change in attraction after the initial kiss? (Yes)/(No) I don't think I can love him more than I do.

I *would* give you your compensation but I am currently busy being arrested which has put a significant pause on my ability to conduct this study. Please check back in later.

[the-only-authority]

Let me see that, Yarns.

... Yes that checks out. But the uh

The uuuuh

[professionalcharmer]

Something catch your eye there?

[the-only-authority]

15.

That is very high on your list.

[professionalcharmer]

The kissing? Yeah, it's up there.

Our answers for 15 were... pretty different for the most part.

[the-only-authority]

Shush, @in-omni-scientia, I'm not talking to you. Flap those pages elsewhere.

Charmer. There is a clear gradient in perception of The Event between us. If not addressed, it could grow into a power imbalance, where the actions of one might have an exaggerated weight to the other.

Does this discrepancy exist for all forms of Kiss in terms of recipient and location?

There's also the matter of. Khm. The last answer.

[professionalcharmer]

Yes, I can see the issue there—but I also can't pinpoint an exact solution, unless you had something in mind.

The discrepancy... I don't know. We could probably figure that out with some testing.

[the-only-authority]

I do not wish to make you my thrall by the inherent power of my kisses.

What testing did you have in mind? An attempt at other items in that list?

[professionalcharmer]

Regardless, I really *like* kissing you, so I hope this doesn't make you less inclined... But, the testing thing, yea. We could also try things *off* the list, see how we feel about certain actions.

You mentioned an issue with my last answer?

[the-only-authority]

Erhm. You're welcome.

No.

...no, not an issue.

I... mh. There is no way for me to respond when you say these things.

[rhetorical-rhetoric]

There are plenty of ways to respond, you would know this if you weren't so busy becoming part of the Cock Carousel

[the-only-authority]

What the fuck are you talking about. Actually, no. Keep your mouth shut. This is between me and Branches. Fuck off.

Entry 3

I noticed some strange flickering lights by the surface of the seas. I read some of it before, I think they were- receptors or sort?

It might be important, so I would like to investigate it a little further. A few hours should be fine.

I- I think I got the gist what might it be. The neurons cells, I suppose, we are at The Store™. I try to sketch it as accurately as I could, trying to differentiate the illustrated from the book and the real one.

There also these strange- globby white things mixed up by its body. Abnormal state. We should be careful to not directly contact any of them at all.

Schedule of observation:

This phenomenon is quite interesting and concerning. I should try to contact Visual Calculus,perhaps they can figure out what happened and how long it lasts.

[professionalcharmer]

@in-omni-scientia Here, I filled out your little survey.

Please indicate where you and your current partner engaged in the act of Kiss (e.g. face): Mouth.

Would you consider your partner short-term or long-term? (Short-term)/(Long-term) (I'd like it to be)

What is your gender identity? (Female)/(Male)/(Nonbinary)/(Other)/(Prefer not to say) If selected 'Other', please indicate: Me.

What is your preference in partner? MALE: (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5) FEMALE: (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5) NONBINARY: (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5) It varies.

How much did you enjoy Kiss? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5)

How important would you value Kiss as being at the initial stages of a relationship? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5) Unsure how to answer?

How much do you believe your partner enjoyed Kiss? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5)

To what degree would you agree that Kiss induces bonding? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5)

How important do you place Kiss as being during the established phases of a relationship? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5)

To what extent would you agree that transfer of sebum from the suction of the skin surface around the mouth and the surfaces of the buccal, oral, and gingival mucosae inside the mouth mediates pheromonal and hormonal information as well as provides olfactory cues during Kiss? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5) What?

To what extent do you agree that Kiss is the most romantic act romantic partners can engage in? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5)

To what extent do you agree that there is less conflict in relationships in which partners engage in Kiss more? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5)

To what extent do you agree that Kiss is a good way for you and your partner to show romantic love for one another? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5)

Do you feel more loved when your partner engages in Kiss with you? (1)/(2)/(3)/(4)/(5) I always do regardless.
